Iran requests emergency meeting of UN Security Council to condemn US strikes
From CNN’s Jessie Yeung
Iran has requested an emergency meeting of the United Nations Security Council, it said in a letter issued Sunday, urging the council to condemn the US strikes on its nuclear facilities.
In the letter, Iran’s ambassador to the UN Amir Saeid Iravani called the US attack a “grave threat against regional and international peace and security.” He confirmed the details of the attack, which targeted the Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan nuclear sites in the early hours of Sunday morning.
He also alleged the attacks were “under the full supervision of the International Atomic Energy Agency,” the UN’s nuclear watchdog. He did not provide evidence for the claim. Iran has been increasingly critical of the IAEA since the conflict with Israel erupted.
The strikes violate the UN charter and the international Non-Proliferation Treaty, he added in the letter, urging an emergency meeting “to examine this unlawful act, adopt necessary measures to condemn it and ensure that those responsible will not be left unpunished.”
